Fresh from starring as the town drunk- no typecasting here!- in Rio Bravo, Dean
was at the height of his popularity when he entered the Capitol studios in the
summer of 1959 to record his first Christmas-themed album for the label. But it
wasn't quite a Christmas album; though White Christmas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer show up here, most of the record is given over to songs more suitable for
snuggling in the snow. Even the cover showing Dino eyeing two snow bunnies
served notice that this was not your father's holiday album...and, as such, this one
goes down smooth all year long. Includes A Winter's Romance; Let It Snow, Let It
Snow, Let It Snow; The Things We Did Last Summer; I've Got My Love to Keep Me
Warm; June in January; Canadian Sunset; Winter Wonderland; Out in the Cold Again;
Baby, It's Cold Outside; Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer; White Christmas, and It
Won't Cool Off. And we've added four singles as bonus tracks: 1951's Meanderin'
and Go Go Go Go, and 1960's Sogni D'Oro and Buttercup of Golden Hair.
